"Section 48-39-40. (A) There is created the South Carolina Coastal Council which consists of fourteen eighteen members as follows: eight members, one from each coastal zone county, to be elected by a majority vote of the members of the House of Representatives and a majority vote of the Senate members representing the county from three nominees submitted by the governing body of each coastal zone county, each House or Senate member to have one vote; six members, one from each of the congressional districts of the State, to be elected by a majority vote of the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate representing the counties in that district, each House or Senate member to have one vote; and four members, one each from Beaufort, Charleston, Georgetown, and Horry counties, to be appointed by the Governor. The council shall elect a chairman, vice-chairman, and other officers it considers necessary.
